2. Open Eclipse workspace

Please provide any additional information below.
Looking at the source code the problem is probably related to the way cmd.exe
is invoked in OpenCommandPrompt.java:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /k start cmd /k \"cd " + path + "\"")
The /D switch must be added to the cd command, i.e.:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /k start cmd /k \"cd /D " + path + "\"")
